Peutêtre and Maybe

These are our 2 angora goats. When we first got them we happened to be playing Janis Joplin and they got named after one of the tracks (Peutêtre is Maybe in French, she is the smaller one). They are sisters.

As you see they are badly in need of a haircut. My partner, Keith has managed to clip most of Peutêtre, she is left with a sort of lions mane, it took 3 hours. The other day I spent 4 hours trying to clip Maybe and although I got quite a bit off it hardly shows as it is all underneath (apart from round her face). The next day I had bruises everywhere and ached in every joint. Since then it has been raining on and off so they are a job waiting to be done.

Your goats are so cute I can hardly stand it! Of course, I don't have to take care of them... I'm sure there are days when you think they are maybe not quite so cute. They do look adorable, though, even mid-haircut.

About Me

In 2003 my partner, Keith, and I quit the rat race in the UK and moved to France with our 4 cats (now 5). We live in 2 yurts linked by a cabin while we think about doing up our derelict farmhouse. I knit, spin, dye, crochet, bead and anything else that takes my fancy.
